that the superintendent of streets be

On to JacksbOro.

The grade from Fort Worth here is
very easy, there are no high hills or deep
valleys to cross. The line simply fol-
lows the West Fork valley to Springtown
and gradually passes on to the ridge
which melts into the valleys, and thence
along this ridge to Jacksb ,ro, there be-
ing no great difficulty anywhere along
the line from Fort Worth here. popu-
lar error that Jacksboro was away up in
high rugged mountains has always been
held up to syndicates to scare them off
to some other place. TIE facts as shown
/ by Captain Hall, the engineer, are that
the ascent from Fort Worth to this place
is very gentle, the altitude of this place
above Fort Worth as given by him is only
456 feet, distance is siXty-four miles. Aroad
into this county and the northwest will
bring q rich and by far the largest terri
tory tributary TO Fort Worth that is not
now traversed by railroad. We need
the road and there is certainly no better
field for investment. If Fort Worth is
the first city to tap this country with a
railroad, the trade to tat place will
simply be immense JacKsborro Ga

The next California excursion leaves
Fort Worth Wednesday night unless the
change in time on the Texas and Pacific
affects it.
The Fort Worth Western corps of en-
gineers undel Chief Engineer Hall is now
on the way to Seymour in Baylor county,
running the lines from Graham on the
main line.
A number of our prominent citizens
are taking considerable interest in Mr..
Goelet's recling chair and sleeping car,
and the prospects are goood for benefit
to Fort Worth in having the cars built
here.
Tomorrow there will be a change in
the running of trains on the Texas and
Pacific. The Fort Worth and Colorado
accommodation will be discontinued, and
thethrough trains will be reversed, the Cal
ifornia west-bound leaving Fort Worth in
the morning in place of at night, and the
St. Louis east-bouud passing through at
night. There will be two trains each
way east of Fort Worth daily, the accom-
mediation train stopping here and starting
from this point.
Nothing can be accomplished without
an effort, and If the cities on the proposed
Southern Pacific extension want the road
let them act. Crockett is moving as is
shown from the following taN en- from the
Crockett Economist: "The citizens of
Crockett and Houston county should have
g meeting and make some organized effort
to secure the railroad now about to be
built from Fort Worth to Woodville
From present indications the road will
certainly be put through, and the only
question IS whether it will come to this
place or not. II will certainly not, unless
some effort is made by our people to
secure it. Crockett got one railroad by a
great effort, and another can now be
secured with but little inducement
on our part Crockett has the geo.
graphical position to become the center
of the Huntington system of railroads IN
Eastern Texas. Let US have railroad
committee TO confer With like committees
of Fort Worth, Fairfield, MeXia, Wood
vile aud WaXahachie, to show up the
advantages and resources of the country
through which the road will pass, and the
inducements to be offered, and what
the people along the line are willing to
do" That has the true ring and THE
GAZETTE is Informed that leading citi-
zens are backing their paper in its move,
among the number being Judge w. B.
Wall, one of the foremost and most ener-
getic citizens of Houston county. AS
previously stated, Fort Worth is ready.
Crockett is also ready, so let US hear
from the other places. THE GAZETTE
states from positive knowledge that the
line has been projected as stated, and it
to great measure depends upon the
cities on the route whether the road be

On to Throckmorton,

Mr.. W. T. Andrews returned last Mon
day from Fort Worth. He brings very
hopeful news from his conference with
First Vice President Lawrence and other
officials of the Fort Worth Western They
say they intend to build the road, Abu-
querque, n NJ, being the ultimate Objec-
tive point, but that unless it appears that
some other road is about to get into their
territory they may stop awhile when the
coal fields of Young county are reached.
They would not say definitely whether
this place or Seymour would get the road,
but might give us more definite informa-
ton when Engineer Hall is heard
from as to the respective routes from
Graham to this place and Seymour, which
he is engaged in surveying, and when the
two places are heard from as to bonuses,
etc. The survey to this place having been
completed and the route found exception
ally good, and this place being directly
on line to Albuquerque, while Seymour
is thirty miles off the line and the route
not near so good from Graham, we are
strongly persuaded to believe that the
Fort Worth Western is ours, especially if
we can "put up' pretty literally

State Notes.

If Fort Worth. the great railroad city
of the state, wants connection with live
towns centering there it will not longer
overlook the fact that Honey Grove is on
the route of the Frisco from Arthur to
the Fort. Dear GAZETTE, give US fair
chance and we will shake with you before
1887 closes Honey Grove Herald.
We learn from reliable source that
the surveying party on the extension of
the old Dallas and Wichita Railroad from
Denton are now this side of Greenwood,
coming in the direction Of Sunset. This
company once surveyed 8 line through
this section where the town Of Sunset
now stands, and if they continue to fol-
low up the same old survey, the road
from Denton will cross the Fort Worth
and Denver at Sunset, which seems very
probable now from all indications. Sun
set extends most cordial welcome to
the enterprise.-[ Sunset Journal.

STATEMENT REGARDING RIGHT OF WAY
MATTERS AT HENRIETTA.
HENRIETTA, TEN, Feb l9, 1887.
To the Editor of the Gazette.
Your correspondent from this place, in
The GAZETTE Of the 18th inst, stated
that went down to where the Gainesville,
Henriettl and Western Railroad con-
tractor was at work on my land and, with
shotgun, put the men out. This is
false, in so far as it stated or implied that
| had gun of any kind about me. Inas-
much as many false reports have been Cir
culated about this right of way matter,
trust you will indulge me in brief state
ment of the facts. My donation to the rail
road will cost me from $3.50 to $500,
and l gave one and one-half miles of
right of way through nv land ten miles
east OF town, but because | do not see fit
to turn over such of my town property as
the railroad sees fit to take, all this
talk and trouble has come up.
l have 5S2 acres of land inside
the corporate limits, on the east side
of town, through which the line
of the railrosd runs over HOO varas,
leaving the same on the west side about
500 feet south of my house. Three sur
veys were made at different distances
from my house, and / offered to
accept $1,000 if they would take
the one furthest OF, and $4,000 for
